PLTR Mid-Term Money Flow: Net Bearish Options Sweep Activity

I'll pull the mid-term money flow picture for $PLTR along with supporting contextLet me note upfront the mid-term DTE filter on the time-series tool returned an error, so I pulled the full PLTR money-flow time series (all DTE) plus the expiration walls snapshot to isolate the mid-term (8–30 DTE) swim lane. Here's the read.

$PLTR — Mid-Term Money Flow (8–30 DTE)

Latest price: $179.76 (8/21/2026) | RSI 69.5 | MACD +1.06 histogram, still bullish

Expiration walls (mid-term lane)

The 8–30 DTE expiration on the books is Sep 18 (28 DTE) — the only true mid-term tenanted date:

⚠ Bullish: $55K
🐻 Bearish: $316K
Net ≈ −$262K at that expiration → net bearish swing positioning into late September.

The Aug 28 (7 DTE) expiry is near-term, not mid-term, and carries a much heavier $2.06M bearish vs $664K bullish (net −$1.4M) — that's the urgent short-window bet sitting just inside the next catalyst.

Trend character (full series, 11 trading days)

Range totals: Net −$8.36M, Bull/Bear ratio 0.80 → bearish tilt overall.
Recent momentum: Last day (8/21) is decisively bearish — net −$3.52M, ratio 0.32 (strong bearish dominance). That singular day accounts for ~42% of the entire 11-day net. Sweep share 0.79 = urgency-driven, not institutional block flow.
Driving cells on 8/21: sweepCallSold $3.81M (strongest bearish cell) + modest sweepCallBought $768K. Aggressive shorting of upside via sold calls is the dominant fresh signal.
Mixed tape earlier: 8/13 was a big bearish day (−$6.68M), 8/14 and 8/17 were net bullish (+$3.56M, +$2.20M). The last three sessions (8/19, 8/20, 8/21) flip back bearish — so the snapshot says bearish and the recent trend agrees.

Conviction quality

strongSweepNet stays positive most of the run (+$680K to +$5.1M on 8/17), meaning urgent call-buying appears on most days — but it's being overwhelmed by even bigger sold-call and sold-put wall flow.
sweepShare ~0.79 on 8/21 → urgency-dominant, not defensive blocks. This is aggressive flow, not hedged income.

Bottom line

PLTR's daily chart is technically bullish (stacked EMAs, RSI mid-60s, green MACD), but the mid-term and near-term options money is net bearish and urgency-driven — heavy sweeping at 7 DTE and 28 DTE expirations, with the strongest leg on sold calls. The momentum is deteriorating: net flow flipped bearish for the last three sessions, led by a −$3.5M aggressive call dump on 8/21.

Caution: this is a flow snapshot (today's activity + recent days), not total open positioning. If you want the exact per-day mid-term bucket breakdown, I'd need the 8–30 DTE filter to resolve (it errored on this pull); what I gave you isolates the mid-term expiration lane directly. Want me to pull PLTR's strike walls or the ticker-level unusual trades to see where in price the bearish bets are sitting?
